Epistemologyiˌpistəˈmäləjēnoun - The theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope.

This is epistemology mafia. Unlike most mafia games, you will not only be deducing information within the parameters of the game, but deducing information about the parameters of the game. I will give you incomplete information, but I will not lie to you. The rules are simple enough: There are 1214 players and 3 or more factions. Each player belongs to some number of factions. When all the players from a faction are killed, the faction is eliminated. When only 2 factions remain, the game ends, and anyone still alive is declared a winner. During the day, players may communicate with each other through the thread, or via private messages. You are not obligated, or even recommended to be honest about anything in either the thread or private messages, although you are forbidden from using meta-game information, such as screenshots of PMs from other players or myself. During every day except the first, players vote on someone to lynch. The person with the most votes is lynched, and the game moves to night time. In addition to their faction, each player has up to one role. This role grants them some abilities, many of which can be used to gather additional information about the game, and some of which are used during the night, although I won't go into the specifics.

In the case of a tied lynch vote, all players in the tie will be lynched.

In the case that there are no votes on any players (or no votes on players that can be lynched), all players commit suicide.

Do not speak with dead players about the game.

Days will last around 72 hours and nights will last around 24 hours. Both are subject to change.

You can't win the game while you are dead.

The game ends when only two factions remain.

Yes, you can talk outside of the game thread. You can use PMs, Quicktopics, Steam, or whatever else you might want to use. You just can't screenshot or cc conversations.

I can give you rules and role clarification as needed.

example pm

Faction: Truth [Faction name, if any]Truth - Truth aligned players commit suicide if they lie. [Faction properties, if any]Role: Trust [Role name]Trust - When the game ends, any living player may have you commit suicide. [Role properties, if any]Trust Exercise - Each night, you may choose a player. If they agree to catch you, you gain an additional vote the following day. Otherwise, you die. [Ability]

Not all players may have a faction. Some players might have multiple factions.

Faction properties will be true for all members of your faction. They are an inherent part of being in that faction.

Role properties are specifically true for you.

Players may have multiple abilities.
